Orient Express Rail Vacations
The Orient Express, often hailed as the epitome of luxury train travel, first embarked on its journey in 1883. Conceived by a Belgian entrepreneur, this iconic railroad originally connected Paris to Istanbul (then known as Constantinople), bridging western Europe with the mysterious east. The Orient Express became synonymous with opulence, intrigue, and adventure, attracting royalty, celebrities, and even spies. Its lavish carriages, exquisite dining, and unparalleled service made it a symbol of the Golden Age of Travel.
